Environmental Policy

Classic Travelling is very aware that its business activities impact upon the environment and is committed to ensuring these activities have the least possible detrimental effect.

We are committed to complying fully with all relevant legal requirements, codes of practice and regulations; assessing the environmental impacts of our operations; continuously seeking to reduce their impacts and improving our resource efficiency through reduction of energy, water use and waste.

Classic Travelling has already taken to following steps to reduce our environmental impact:

Planting trees for every trip in association with The Woodland Trust, to offset the carbon produced by the vehicle emissions. We have calculated that Classic Travelling tours are responsible for around 30-35 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. To offset this Classic Travelling is working with the Woodland Trust to create 750m2 of new native woodland each year. In time this will absorb at least 30 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, helping with our strategy to reduce our business carbon footprint. See our Woodland Trust Certificate here.

Optimising energy efficiency & conservation in all operations by turning off equipment as much as possible, & not leaving anything on standby

The company will implement all reasonably practicable measures to prevent pollution of our surrounding environment and will comply with current environmental regulations and legislation. Our aim is to ensure that our driving tours have the lowest possible impact on the environment.

Our commitment is to the environment and sustainable tourism.

Classic Travelling was established in 2003 and offers classic car tours, motoring holidays and driving vacations for classic, vintage and sports cars of any age. We have extensive experience of touring and motoring, and offer both escorted, small-group tours and independent self-drive tours taking in some of the finest roads in Europe, North America, and South Africa.
